Lentil Spinach Salad

Lentil Spinach Salad

Lentil Spinach Salad is a hearty salad that is full of flavor. It has a light lemon olive oil dressing and crumbled feta cheese adds a nice saltiness to the lentils and veggies. This is a salad that will keep you full and satisfied.

If you have never cooked with lentils before, they are a legume which is part of the bean family. They are high in protein and make a good meat replacement.

This is a simple recipe to make. You can chop the vegetables and make the dressing while the lentils are cooking and have everything together in about 30 minutes.

Lentils are such a good substitute for meat in Lentil Bolognese and Lentil Chili. They are also delicious in Lentil Soup.
